Some of them I threw in as a joke (Schneider and Butler for example)

With the reduction of the bonuses to teams the cap in effect is going down across the league by quite a bit, making an already difficult situation in the offseason (cap space is already at a huuuuge premium) all that much worse. After the lockout in 2013, the NHL allowed compliance buyouts because the cap went down.
